The objective of the study was the evaluation of effect of passive smoking among pregnant women on the health condition of their newborn babies. The study covered 150 healthy, non-smoking women from the Lublin Region. Among the total number of respondents, 45.34 % were not exposed during pregnancy to passive smoking at their workplace, while 13.33 % were passive smokers throughout the whole period of pregnancy. The state of their babies was assessed according to the APGAR Scale. A statistically significant correlation was noted between the maternal exposure to passive smoking during pregnancy and evaluation of the babies according to the APGAR Scale. No statistically significant relationship was noted between the date of delivery, the birth weight of babies, the onset of lactation, the problems with breastfeeding and maternal passive smoking during pregnancy.

Background: Psychoactive substance use in adults and second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure among children are leading contributors to sleeping problems. Despite this, there is limited data on how these exposures influence sleep patterns in informal settings. Our study assessed the associations between substance use, SHS exposure and sleep disturbances among adults and children in an urban informal settlement in Uganda.

Sudden unexpected deaths in infancy (SUDI) is defined as the unexpected death of an infant in the first year of life, including explained and unexplained death (SIDS). Risk factors, such as sleeping position and passive smoking, have been identified but few studies have addressed the influence of exposure to chemicals in the environment. Pesticides are ubiquitous but little is known about their impact on infant mortality.

Background: Epidemiological studies have consistently demonstrated a robust association between long-term exposure to air pollutants and respiratory diseases. However, establishing causal relationships remains challenging due to residual confounding in observational studies. In this study, Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was used to explore the causal and epigenetic relationships between various air pollutants and common respiratory diseases.
